Practical Nursing, Vocational Nursing and Nursing Assistants at Remington College-Memphis Campus

The estimated $8,000 debt figure here deserves attention—it's dramatically lower than what's typical for this credential. Similar nursing programs nationally carry median debt of $19,404, and Tennessee programs typically burden students with $21,879. If this estimate holds true, Remington-Memphis would be financing this degree far more affordably than most alternatives. Combined with estimated first-year earnings around $51,744 (based on national peer programs), that creates a debt-to-earnings ratio of just 0.15—meaning graduates would owe roughly two months' salary.

The caveat, of course, is that both figures are estimates derived from limited national data, not verified outcomes from this specific campus. The 91% Pell grant rate signals that most students here are low-income, making the debt picture particularly critical. Peer programs in Tennessee produce more modest earnings around $45,301, suggesting the national estimate might be optimistic for Memphis-area job markets. Still, even at Tennessee's lower typical salary, an $8,000 debt load would remain manageable.

For families weighing this program, the key question is whether that unusually low debt estimate reflects actual institutional practice or statistical noise from a small sample. Contact the school's financial aid office directly to understand typical borrowing patterns for recent nursing graduates—if the low debt is real, this could be one of the more accessible paths to an LPN credential in the region.
